Highlights
Pet care experience
Your pet’s new favorite person!
I grew up in a household with my two chihuahuas, Gizmo and Angel, and had a revolving door of stray cats that eventually joined the family. I raised a baby kitten after she had been abandoned on the highway. I had to bottle feed her, help her use the restroom, and keep her warm. Eventually, she survived the endeavor, and became my constant companion. I named her Karma! Friends have trusted me with their pets more times than I can count. I've cared for my family's dog, Charlie, who needs special care for his degenerative joint condition. I raised a family of kittens after my Karma gave birth and fled the coop. I've dealt with stray cats that have had prior histories and needed patience and a calm approach.
Qualifications
Safety, trust & environment
I love animals! I’ll always make sure they feel safe and secure, while giving them as much pets and playtime as needed. I’m also generally capable around a house. I'm mechanically inclined, good with plants, and I'm a neat freak. I also managed employee housing for several years, so I can be counted on to be responsible and reliable. I’ll make sure your best pal will maintain a similar schedule as your own.
Ratings and reviews
Dakota was great with my goldendoodle Sasha He was super responsive and accommodating, went above and beyond, and kept me up to date with every visit. I would absolutely recommend him to anyone needing a sitter.
Dakota has been exceptional with my dog and cat. Being able to care for my elderly dog and my cat that's not a big people person, takes a lot of heart. I appreciate the patience and understanding he has with my animals. Couldn't ask for a better for someone better to watch my pets.
Dakota took amazing care of Daphne. We needed someone urgently during a huge blizzard, and he came in without even really knowing us and fed her and took his time to walk and play with her. I cant thank him enough!!!
